A1466 Macbook Air logic board repair - no green light on charger

I wonder if that like was done by Erica or Louis.

[@nussysnake9933]

Excellent repair video Louis, and I can see the happiness when you're around Erica. Much love brother! Keep up the good work.

[@stephensimmons2595]

Louis Don't treat Erica that!!! It is obvious that she doesn't have training in electronics nor does she wish too. She is good at what she does and that good enough for her. My wife of 46 years was scared of mathematics and computers I tried to interest her in both but she just couldn't do it. She was an English and languages major and she was great at it, in fact if it wasn't for her help in writing I would have never made through thesis work in college. I learned to be happy in what she was and what she could do and to never try to make her like what I did. She loved me for what I was and I learned to love her for what she was. Very Important life lesson. Steve

[@CitizenPerkins]

Dude, leave that young lady alone! Just enjoy the fact that she cares about you enough to hang out at her dorky boyfriend's shop while he does his boring tech thang. 😁 And be thankful that she doesn't drag you her book club!

there are book clubs for board repair too. maybe.

Something tells me Erica isn't interested in Macbook repair.

[@dd07871]

Misogynist!

She has the basic life-skill of recognizing someone who knows infinitely more about a subject than she ever will, and knows to let him handle that. Fred

if Erica ever tells Louis " you never listen to me" .. he can just play this video :)

[@Techformative557]

I repaired a 2009 Macbook Pro 17 inch today which had been dead for 3 years...it had a load of cheap upgrades inside it including a battery which connector didn't even stay in place without tape and unbranded ram. The charging port was water damaged with corrosion around the solder joints. Cleaned it with isopropyl and the whole board, new thermal paste, SMC reset and jump started using the Start pads on the board..dude got all his old files back..it was a good day!

[@BcHmF]

When a video with Louis is great, Erica makes it even better.

[@GlennHamblin]

Be happy Louis, you have a cute girlfriend. Let her alone, she doesn't need or want to be a Mac book repair tech. She just wants to spend time with you. So spend some quality time with her!

[@UltraNoobian]

Spend some qualitea time. Go to a cafe or bookshop with food with her!

[@amedicabg]

Hes just teasing her...

[@stockyirish]

That's why she has you, Louis! So she doesn't need to learn power rails!

Louis, Love how you intersperse your video with a clip of The OC (S01E04 for everyone by the way).

Keep Erica in your videos, she adds beauty to the videos. Love learning on your videos

[@pr0xZen]

So the SMC reset is active, functionally as a brownout detector, awaiting PP3V3_G3H startup voltage to stabilize, before it no longer holds low and releases the reset signal?

[@rossmanngroup]

Yes,

[@pev_]

Come on, man, I think you are being a little cruel here. if Erica is not technically oriented why do you try to force her about technical details? Sorry, I don't know the intricacies of your relationship, this just came to mind, I do understand about wanting your partner to understand your own specialities. And props to her always being so sweet about your technological ramblings :)

[@hansdruf9132]

I always wonder, how Louis gets these "strings" of trace-names right; out of the box, but I guess it's routine... crazy routine...

[@lesleymunro4964]

It's like any industry, where you see the same things hundreds of times a year. The advantage of apple, because its a closed ecosystem, is there are far fewer differences across the range. It's not like PC's where you can see thousands of different parts, some only once or twice, ever. It's like specializing in a particular brand. Probably the nearest analogy would be a car garage that specializes in a particular car brand, like Audi or Volvo, and the mechanic knows every single piece of the car. Not to say he couldn't fix any other brand, but just he's be far slower on others because he doesn't know them inside out. But give him the brand he works on, and he'll out-class any other mechanic. Louis is the same, there's probably a lot of electronics he could fix, but it would take him longer, but give him a macbook board, and he knows it inside out, and would outclass nearly every engineer, including 90% of Apple's own workers.

[@NicholasLeicht]

@@lesleymunro4964 I'm willing to bet actual money it's closer to 97% of all apple employees, unfortunately. That's a great analogy with the car garage 😊👍🏻.

Great video as usual! I hate the epoxy around chips. Annoying to have to remove it before replacing.

[@reajuria]

Louis thanks for sharing knowledge! Erica: you can do it! just practice

[@MaxintRD]

@Erica: don't even try to indulge Louis in this. Just say that Macbook repair is his thing, not yours. You deserve better! Let him take you out for a nice dinner or some good time together elsewhere... @Lous: you're probably just teasing... I'm sure you're creative enough to find many more ways to tease... ;-)

[@chemxfan]

I don't blame Erica for not knowing - lots of us don't know the 1st thing about the things we use. I also know how Louis feels - it's how I felt when trying to describe automobile functions to my gf at the time(btw, that's not why we broke up). So, keep educating us, Louis...you might just draw Erica in. #theresalwayshope :)

[@bonbonpony]

When will Erica repair some boards? Teach her some basics :J If Jessa can teach her kids iphone repair, so should you with Erica :) However, I think the problem might be on _her_ side: if she cared to listen at least _half_ of your great explanations, she should be able to get at least _some_ of the things you said, such as: that we need some short delay for the SMC before it starts, or what powers it, or what the knockoff chargers do wrong, even if she didn't get all the technicalities. "That's it for today, I hope you learned something." And my brain immediately added: "Because Erica didn't" ;)

[@gerthalberg9735]

I can understand why you don’t clean the boards before you work on them - but all the Hairs are kind of gross - would it be possible to give the board a blast of compressed air before the work commences

[@elephantofdoom]

Imagine how it must feel when your boyfriend drags you to the office for no reason other to be the clickbait picture in his video

[@marscruz]

It's probably the other way around. Women like attention. Erica gets attention from being in Louis's videos. Erica hangs around with Louis and gets camera attention. It's just female nature. That's why there are so many women on Instagram. There is nothing wrong with this. It just is what it is.

[@DisturbedVette]

marscruz I think you have a very twisted impression of women. There’s no such thing as “female nature” other than giving birth and menstrual cycles. Also, liking attention isn’t limited to females, it’s males too. There are people among *all* of us who like attention. Call me a triggered feminist or what have you (even though I don’t agree with modern day feminism), but something about your comment there left a bad taste in my mouth.

Most Macbooks are faulty because of liquid damage. Would you say that Laptops from other manufacturers are immune to liquid damage?

[@Spartan720-l3f]

bullshit.. any exposed integrated circuit will be gone with water damage

[@littlepeon]

MacBooks will also short out with water damage in a humid room, other laptops will not!

[@TechNinja.1701]

A chunky Lenovo ThinkPad L512 I've recently worked on; after a rain storm flooded the office it was in; had a stainless steel tray underneath the keyboard isolating it from the components, and little drain holes for water to drain straight below the laptop. It was fine for water dripping on the keyboard, but if water had come up from the bottom to seep into the ventilation grilles and peripheral ports, the HDD and board (like it did for a neighbouring T420), it would have suffered.

[@mojoblues66]

@@TechNinja.1701 So what you're saying is that it is possible to minimize the impact of water damage but Apple decided to rather go thinner and lighter?

[@TechNinja.1701]

I wanted to show an example of how other manufacturers mitigate water damage in some of their models. Louis did a video a few years back of him spilling water all over his ThinkPad. To answer your next question, I think Apple could direct their very clever engineers & designers to spill proof their MacBooks, but it seems to me that they'd need a lot of their customers and potential customers to fight through that self-imposed reality distortion bubble of theirs; the same bubble that has prevented them from properly rectifying their "butterfly" keyboards on their USB C MacBooks.
